canoeing nats/raffles row well done dearest seniors. it's the process that counts. it's not about the results, the medals. thanks for teaching me values I wouldn't have picked up from joining a non-sports cca or choosing council over canoeing. the emotional times during nats - how I was stressed over trivial matters - just revealed more of my weaknesses, which will be gotten rid of in time to come. needa be tougher, don't we all? failures aren't supposed to only break us, they are to first break us before we build ourselves up again. it's been awesome getting to know the j1s too, girls and guys alike. ♥ it's all heart from here. :) real training to start soon. the beginning's gonna be really hard for me 'cause I haven't done school team sports before and I have weak core. common leg cramps and twisted ankle. ailments He'll heal. lots of mental will needed too. exhaustion will slowly become normal and we'll all cope with it, somehow. life goes on, no matter what. besides, I'm not alone in this and His hand upholds me through it all.

11S03K class camp was nothing short of fruitful. though we missed people like mahdi, it was good. the support and encouragement we gave each other willingly during height elements; the laughter we shared while we made ugly and overflowing popiahs; the fun we had playing interclass games and spending almost 5 minutes on the first try of the 4 stations (when the objective was to hit under 60seconds). the earnest conversation/genuine sharing we had at the end of it awed me. our expectations of what a fun class' like may just be reached, soon enough. they will. we have more than a year left to go together. let's create lots more great memories. thanks for being such a great, sweet, caring, funny, retarded, lame bunch.

studies lagging behind but will not give up. will draw strength from the Lord. will catch up and be self-motivated. will be consistent once I grasp concepts taught over the past one and a half months. will procrastinate less and cut down on computer usage, knowing it's possible.

time made for God little, less, lesser, least. but He remains in me. His spirit constantly prompts me and I'll learn to be still. (psalm 46:10) once again in Jesus' name claim peace and wisdom for myself. been too uptight, been too drained, been tired, been falling ill. (but thank God very happy too at many instances). haven't spent as much time in worship, in just crying, in just pouring out all that's within me - the heartwrenching reality, the struggles, the failures, the flaws. haven't daily surrendered so He may mould me. for these I'm really sorry...

tired. lotsa work to finish too. but thank God for protected time on monday mornings! shall go to bed now and get up earlier. remember guys, continue to hope in the Lord cause He never sleeps, slumbers or fails us.
